Rapper Kanye West had some car trouble recently — paparazzi stationed in front of the house of girlfriend Kim Kardashian saw West’s custom Lamborghini Aventador being caught by Kardashian’s electric gate, and got it all on video.

West’s Aventador was being delivered to the Kardashian house after getting serviced, TMZ reports. As the car made it up the driveway through the electrically operated gate, the doors started to close on the car. The driver (not West) attempted to power his way through, though not before scraping a portion of the Lambo’s body against the gate. A stock Lamborghini Aventador is shown above and at right.

While that kind of damage would be a mere annoyance in most cars, we wondered how much it could cost to repair on an exotic car. While the damage to West’s Aventador looks to be only be skin-deep, serious damage to the supercar’s carbon fiber monocoque requires a “Flying Doctor” – a Lambo tech specially trained in the arts of repairing carbon fiber. Had Kardashian’s gate closed with more force, the Aventador could have caused enough damage to require the Flying Doctor to fly out to the car, where he would cut out the damage, prep the hole, and then plug it with a pre-pregnated carbon fiber patch.

According to the folks at Los Angeles-based Harry’s Auto Collision Center, a high-end body shop that specializes in repairing wrecked exotics, the type of damage seen on West’s Aventador might cost anywhere from $2500-$3000 to repair. Other common supercar repairs include banged-up and dented front clips, which tend to cost at least $2000-$3500 to repair, depending on the severity of the damage.
